Testing enclosure

2 more weeks before my Cham arrives.... Need your inputs!

Basking: 121f (fail need a lower watt bulb)
Humidity: 72% ????

121* F?! That's way too hot. Depending on the type of cham and age you want it closer to high 80s or so. I'd recommend a digital temperature gun to accurately measure the basking spot. Post a pic of your set up and what type of cham/age and we can better help you!

Lol yeah I know. I have a 3month veiled incoming.. Already ordered a 35watt bulb. Confused though.... Digital gun says 90f, reptizoo temp probe says 120f...

You want to point the gun directly at the chams body, adjust the lights accordingly. Away from the chams eyes of course.

Thanks for that... I think the 35watt will do our ambient is 80-85*f

You can also just raise and lower the basking light to adjust the temps.

Humidity spiking at 80% after misting the. Settles back to 65% is that ok?

I have a low ceiling, also consulted with most breeders(includes ng the one selling me my Cham) and all of them don't use a basking light to to the hot climate of our country..

Sounds spot on!

Most temperature guns take the average temp of the object and its surroundings.
